The Nexus Leadership Project

The Nexus Leadership Project, an organization promoting a more progressive definition of antisemitism, also took issue with deporting foreign students. 'While the rapid rise in campus antisemitism demands serious action by the incoming administration and Congress,?threatening to deport students based on their political views about Israel and Palestine would be a dangerous overreach that undermines both academic freedom and America’s democratic values,' said Kevin Rachlin, Nexus’ Washington director." . . . #Antisemitism #Trump #Politics #USPolitics #IsraelPalestine

My first Guest Column for the Policy Center is available now: "Protect Campus Free Speech, Combat Antisemitism, and Defend Democracy." I argue that to prevent further campus escalations when students return to campus in the fall, and preserve core rights guaranteed in American democracy that are also central to higher education, the Biden Administration and Congress must take the following policy actions to protect peaceful, non-violent student protests, while appropriately addressing antisemitism, Islamophobia, and other forms of discrimination: 1) Fully implementing the National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism 2) Rejecting legislation that undermines free speech and efforts to counter antisemitism, including the Antisemitism Awareness Act 3) Passing the Countering Antisemitism Act 4) Opposing violent crackdowns on campuses Read my new Guest Column here: https://lnkd.in/eXVqK6Cw
